Limni Keriou is the name given to the port and bay just below the village of
Keri where views from the Keri lighthouse are spectacular, and especially popular at sunset for photographers. Around twenty minutes drive south of
Laganas, as you come over the hilltops,
Keri can be seen, a picturesque sight as you drive down through the lush green landscape. Most of the narrow beach at
Keri is made up of pebbles, however as you walk into the shallow waters, soft sand is under foot after only a couple of metres. Marathonisi island, also known as turtle island, is only a short distance from
Limni Keri and a fifteen minute motor boat ride will take you there.
Boats can be hired at reasonable rates and taxi boats are available for the less adventurous. Just around the coastline are the
Keri Caves and boat trips are available daily from the small port to see these naturally eroded arches with deep clear blue waters. There is also a scuba diving centre here, although high powered watersports are not available because of the danger to the loggerhead sea turtles in the area. The quiet nature of the resort of
Keri and stunning surrounding scenery attract mainly visitors who are after a peaceful holiday. There are hotels, studios and apartments spread around the resort and a few shops, bars and restaurants mainly around port and seafront areas, where a relaxing evening listening to the gentle waves lapping at the shore is hard to resist.
